What Exercises For Women Is just not Cause Muscle Gain?

What exercises for women will not cause muscle gain?

You avoid touching a clod for anxiety about muscle progress, after all, you don't want to look like a man. I have some good news for you, those dumbbells won't make you look masculine, in fact, quite the opposite. Impossible? Think about two points.

First of all, you won't build muscle with dumbbells. (Or weight sets, or machines, for that matter. ) Men have genetics and hormones that can, given the right workout routine, promote bigger muscles. Women have neither the genetics nor the hormones that promote bigger muscles. If you don't believe me, here's a tip: do 10-15 representatives, even men won't gain muscle with this routine.


Second, you want to lift weights. christina aguilera What! Exactly why? Weight training helps to lose weight. Muscles account for almost all of the calories burnt by your body, yet you are losing about a half pound of muscle annually after age 25. Every wonder why you get fatter as you age? One of the reasons for this is muscle loss. Strength train to strengthen those calorie burning up muscle cells.

What about those freakishly muscular women bodybuilders, how did they wind up looking like men? The answer is: amazingly work, unusual genetics, and steroids. (Sadly, steroid use is rampant throughout high-level bodybuilding contestants--men and women alike).

I know some women who like durability training even more than aerobic training (although you need both types of exercise). Also, you aren't by yourself with strength training either. Anchorwoman Katie Couric is rumored to work out there with light weights. Vocalist song-writer Christina Aguilera elevates weights, and actor Kim Basinger is into strength training.
